Senator Lee’s article on December 18, 2013, “Senate setting dangerous precedent on defense authorization bill,” needed only one paragraph to get our attention. Consider this rewrite, “The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) destroys due process in the United States by granting President Obama the power to kidnap any American, anywhere in the U.S. and forever hold him or her in prison without a trial.”

No other paragraphs were necessary for Utah citizens to stand behind Senator Lee in his opposition to NDAA.
